This article clearly illustrates how Comcast has and continues to deceived the public in regard to the impact of the governemnt mandated digital transition on their customers.

• Comcast has stated in TV ads and on its Web site that customers don’t have to be concerned about the government transition because if they have analog televisions, Comcast will translate the digital signals to analog ones.
• The original governemnt transition date was for mid-February, but has been rescheduled to mid-June.
• Comcast is in the midst of its own digital transition project which began in March…JUST WEEKS AFTER THE ORIGINAL GOVERNEMNT TRANSITION DATE.
• Comcast customers with analog TV sets WILL REQUIRE a converter box to translate the signal from digital to analog.

Comcast’s ads assuring customers they didn’t have to worry about the digital broadcast transition have never made note that they would soon need to deal with a digital cable transition. And while those commercials have been running widely on Comcast’s networks for a year or so now, long before broadcasters were slated to shut off their analog signals, the company didn’t start talking about its own transition until early February, about six weeks before it planned to start rolling it out.  Even then, the marketing messages have tended to target customers in specific communities immediately before Comcast upgraded its system in those areas, rather than in a mass-marketing campaign like the ones use to deceive.

The Shaqnstein monster is out of control.  Bring on the FIRE and we’ll burn it down!
